Defines certain behavior aspects of a dependency property, including conditions it was registered with.

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Class PropertyMetadata
Dim instance As PropertyMetadata
public class PropertyMetadata
In Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), a dependency property can be registered with an owning type, and then you could override the metadata for that property as it existed on a specific type. In Silverlight 3, there is no support for per-type property metadata. The metadata used for a dependency property in Silverlight 3 is always the metadata that is applied by the initially registering and owning type (the type from which the Register is made).
System..::.Object
System.Windows..::.PropertyMetadata
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
For a list of the operating systems and browsers that are supported by Silverlight, see Supported Operating Systems and Browsers.
